"The UKβs exit from the Erasmus scheme has resulted in a devastating loss of exchange and educational opportunities for youth.
Reintegrating the UK into the Erasmus programme is the way forward. Young people deserve it". @CuttinMaurizio

π₯40 THOUSAND signatures later, the message is clear: young people want more than Turing; they want back in on Erasmus ! π¬π§πͺπΊ
@bycLIVE is calling on the government to recognise the youth sector value that Erasmus , unlike the student-centred Turing Scheme, brought. π

This week I was delighted to attend and address the @EUdelegationUK's #YouthGathering on EU-UK Youth Engagement. π¬π§πͺπΊ
The verdict was clear: EU and UK youth are keen to deepen ties, beginning with the UK's rejoining of the #Erasmus scheme. π€
Now the work begins! π

Testing out @HeyGen_Official translation on French and German. I donβt speak either language so let me know if it sounds natural if you do.
I hope if you pay you can turn off the color correction.
It didnβt work on my phone so I had to upload on my pc.

True, but that doesnβt make it right or useful
Randomly throwing orange stuff at folk does nothing to persuade more action to be taken on one of the kinda important challenges facing the world

George Osborne will survive having orange confetti being thrown at him, which is more than you can say for all too many victims of his ideologically driven austerity
